Pilot

Hello,I will suggest you do a degree or degrees after class 12th. It serves as a backup plan when you are unfortunately get laid off for any reason. Now to point out. Complete class 2 Medicals and class 1 Medicals first and then after confirming you are eligible then go and apply for flight schools or join a cadet programme sponsored by an airline where you will have to undergo selection tests, if got selected then you will be signed to do training with them and they all consider you as an employee by giving money during the training period. Note that you only pay money for training. Once you complete the training successfully and after you get placed, you'll be repaid the amount in the monthly instalment in addition to your salary.
You can do your pilot training abroad. But I'll suggest you to complete all the theory papers (5 papers for CPL) before enrolling in a foreign fly school. This will help you complete the course quickly and serve well enough making the license conversation process easier when you return back to India.
I would suggest to take up the entrance test of IGRUA. It is one the finest institutes in India.
Best of luck.

There are 3 stages to becoming a commercial pilot as mentioned below:
1) To become a commercial pilot in India, one has to first possess a Student Pilot License (SPL). To get the SPL those with 10+2 with Science and aged at least 16 years should register at a flying club, which is recognized by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India. Registration requires a medical certificate, security clearance and a bank guarantee. An oral examination in subjects such as Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Engine (technical and specific) follows the registration. Successful completion of the examination entitles you for an SPL certificate.
2) The second step is the Private Pilot License (PPL). PPL training includes sixty hours of flying of which about fifteen hours are dual flights, that is accompanied by the flight instructor and at least 30 hours of solo flights apart from five hours of cross-country flying. This makes one eligible for the PPL exam, which consists of Air Regulation, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Aircraft Engines and Seamanship. The prescribed age for appearing for this exam is 17 years and an educational qualification of 10+2 along with a medical Fitness Certificate issued by the Armed Forces Central Medical Establishment (AFCME).
3) A Commercial Pilot Licence may be obtained only after a PPL has been acquired. To obtain a Commercial Pilots License (CPL) 250 hours of flying (including 60 hours for the PPL) is necessary. Besides that you have to undergo a Medical Fitness Test which is held at New Delhi and an examination which consists of Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Technical, Planning, and communications in the form of Radio & Wireless Transmission. With the CPL, a pilot can take up any professional assignment.

Basic pre-requisites to apply for a commercial pilot course is mentioned below:
1) You must complete Class XII under the 10+2 system or its equivalent with a minimum of 50 per cent marks in maths and physics.
2) You must be at least 16 years of age to be eligible for a Student Pilot License, 17 for a Private Pilot License, and 18 for a Commercial Pilot License.
3) Alternatively, you could directly enroll for the Private Pilot License once you have cleared Class XII and are 17 years old. This involves taking an exam conducted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation* consisting of theory papers on air navigation, aviation meteorology, air regulation and technical aspects.
4) Your vision in one eye must be perfect. In general medical terminology, it is called 6/6 eyesight. In the other eye, you could have an imperfection of 6/9, which must be correctable to 6/6.
5) General physical fitness is mandatory. You must be free of any disease that can hamper normal function.
6) You need to complete the requisite number of hours, clear written papers and the medical examination. You need 70 percent marks to pass in each of these papers. You can keep appearing until you clear them.
Note: The application form is available at all flying clubs. You can also write to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Send a self-addressed envelope, requesting them to send it back to you. Regards.

Talking of doing CPL and then thinking of doing it at cheap cost are two far ends.
Doing CPL is a costly affair and it requires the candidate to fly actual aircraft and since it is a professional course it should be done under the guidance of experienced and well trained instructors.
You may find cheap flying clubs in Phillipines, many go there to do their CPL training and after returning they convert their license to Indian license.
But there's another fact related to it, that a couple of years ago Phillipines was black listed by DGCA for doing CPL. Although now the restrictions have been lifted off.
Experienced and professional instructors and examiners shall train you to be a good pilot whereas you may just do a formality by doing it from any cheaper institutes.
Decide wisely before you enrol into any flying school and do check it's credibility in DGCA's records.

To be a commercial pilot, there is a specific eligibility criteria which you should first be aware of. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th. It requires PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible.
Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you to visithttp://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmand go to the class 2nd examiners tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience.
Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or abroad. I would suggest you fly in India.
Besides finding the club, be aware that you will have to appear for:
1. Air Navigation
2. Aviation Meteorology
3. Air Regulations
4. Aviation Technical
5. Aircraft Specific
6. Radio Telephony
Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, Flying Club will help you or there are private instructors available in metro cities as well.
You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once.
You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline.
Then, you finally get a job as a pilot.
I hope the process is well explained to you.
CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20 Lacs for flying + DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam + Medicals for Rs.10,000 + endorsements and license issue fees around Rs.25k + Type Rating around Rs.15 Lacs.
